How to Determine Testosterone Levels by Looking at Your Ring Finger

Use this method to measure your testosterone level.

Step 1: Know the facts
Know the facts: More testosterone exposure is linked to a longer ring finger. Researchers say ring finger length is determined as early as the 14th week of pregnancy.

Step 2: Examine your hand
Take a good look at your own fingers by straightening them out and closing the space between them. Hold your hand in front of your face with your palm open and facing away from you.

Step 3: Eyeball the difference
Look at the difference between the length of your index (or second) finger and your ring (or fourth) finger.

Tip
Compare your finger length to a woman's, if you are a man, and to a man's, if you are a woman, to get a visual on the difference testosterone makes in ring finger length.

Step 4: Calculate your masculinity
Calculate your testosterone level: the longer your ring finger is in relation to your index finger, the more testosterone you were exposed to in the womb. Conversely, a person with an index finger longer than the ring finger was exposed to more estrogen as a fetus.

Step 5: Accept your lot in life
Accept the results -- the relative length of your fingers is set before birth and remains the same throughout life.

Did You Know?
Men produce 20 to 40 times the amount of testosterone that women do.

im injecting 5000mg testosteron a week why isnt my ringfinger 2 feet long?

[ProgressiveMetalist]

I think this more accurately measures someone's stupidity level instead

[barwr]

"you will need: your fingers and free time" am i the only one with dirty mind?

[DonnieDio]

If this indicates anything at all then its only how much testosterone a person was exposed to in the womb.  It does not do anything to measure current or even recent testosterone levels, which can vary quite significantly throughout life for many different reasons.

Now all the geniuses are gonna cut off the tips of their index fingers to increase their T...You just watch.

laughed my ass off at that dude, nice one

The testosterone levels that he is talking about is while the baby is still in the prenatal womb. A mans ring finger will be longer than the index if he was exposed to high levels of it. Also is the case with butch fems.

All you need is your "fingers and a little free time". That part is TRUE! I make time for that a few times a week.

[astherushcomes]

This is actually true. I read it in my social psychology book. The emphasis was more on aggression as opposed to testosterone. However they are actually linked.

This stuff with the fingers has nothing to do with your ACTUAL T levels. Listen, people! My ring finger has the same length as my index finger and I produce more testosterone than 95% of men. I got my Total Test Lvls checked and I got 1084 ng/dl.

I said that to my friend than facepalmed him with his own hand lol... good times

[butwait]

hahaha, that dude's face while he's checking out his hands :D

[DaNewWrksOfMeh]

Ya lol I remember this from highschool. Who knew testosterone levels could stay so consistent? My fingers have always been the same size relative to eachother. I've yet to meet someone who's ring finger starting shrinking when they were 13 and grew when they were 40

[tozzed]

real funny comment
really made my day
thanks buddy

[MelbourneMaster]

On my left hand my index is longer than my ringfinger, but on my right hand my ring finger is longer than the index? wtf

[MaRaTheMeyvn]

How great. According to this I'm practically a woman.

[ScaperSteph]

I'm female and my ring finger is a lot longer than my index. lol Ironically, I just started testosterone pellets therapy last week because my hormone level is low.

[miesrah]

well i never noticed that untill now, thank you.

[Dudeylou]

If the ring finger is bigger it means higher testosterone, if it is the same size, it means average and if its smaller it means less than average
